Overusing the Brake

The first time I ever rode a bike with handlebar brakes, I followed my friend down his steep driveway. I tried to brake by pedaling in reverse. When that didn’t work, I panicked and grabbed both handlebar brakes firmly.

The bike stopped, but I didn’t! My body hurtled over the handlebars and into some rose bushes. Overuse of the brakes caused me great harm.
